Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for May 31, 2022

It’ll be worse when you’re married.

Have Zoe fold the clean clothes. Then it wouldn’t be so bad.

She’s learning early what’s it like to have a brother

can hardly wait until Zoe gets to Wanda’s brassieres; the girl is too young to have one of her own

Zoes expression last panel!!

Just trash them!

Wanda’d best pay Zoe a lot of $!

And be sure to wash your hands for at lest 5 minutes afterwards!

Hammie is so filthy that touching his underwear probably isn’t too safe.

I can be the first to complain about our “disposable” culture. But really, there is definitely something positive to be said for disposable undies. Especially now that people are laundering with cold water.

So now it will only take 20 years to save enough for the scooter

Don’t worry, Zoe. You don’t have to touch Hammie’s or your dad’s underwear. Just the stuff Wren wore to preschool and got paint dumped on by another toddler (or herself and she told mom that someone else did it).

Think of yourself as a nuclear scientist handling hazardous waste.

So, now we’re resorting to bribery?

Isn’t he housebroken yet?

Both the kids ought to be helping with the laundry already and gratis.

I don’t blame you Zoe.

Have the hand sanitizer ready and wear a mask for extra measure! You could even wear latex surgical gloves!

Because I toured on the road for several years with a theater company, I got into the habit of keeping any used undies in a plastic bag until they could be washed. I discovered it’s a good idea at home, too. I don’t even have to touch my own dirty ones!

Hammy finally found something which frightens Zoe. Or we did. Best if Hammy never discovers.

When he is a teenager, you will want to avoid touching his underwear and bedsheets even more…just for a different reason.

Better get it in writing!

I’d be icked out too, Zoe!

Boy’s underwear: ick
